Support the Creative Economy in New Jersey

0Comments

Did you know that the federal funds that kept New Jersey arts alive over the last two years have run out? Did you know that there is something you can do to help?

Senate Bill 2800/A4233 was recently introduced to support New Jersey’s creative industries with $70 million of federal American Rescue Plan (ARPA) funds still available to the State of New Jersey. This bill would provide grants to various organizations towards recouping lost revenue and protecting them against future financial instability. 

Please ask your New Jersey state legislators (NJ Assembly & NJ Senate) to co-sponsor and support this bill, and ask your colleagues, friends, and family to do the same. https://bit.ly/3o11qvG
